Hondas, Acuras, Toyotas focus of Hontech Beyond Graphix offers quality products

From the time Joe Carney was young, he enjoyed tinkering with cars. Although he liked being around vehicles of different types, he confesses that he really didn’t know that much about them.

That all changed when Carney began working at a local Honda dealership in Mesa. In 14 years, Carney went from washing cars to becoming the dealership’s top mechanic.

Carney liked his work so much, he was inspired to open his own shop.

Twenty-one years ago, he and his wife Lorraine launched Hontech in Chandler.

“I figured I might as well start my own business while I was still young, and if it didn’t work out, I could always go back to wrenching it for a dealership. For the first year, it was just my wife and I running it,” he says.

Two decades later, Hontech is still going strong. Instead of working on all sorts of makes and models, the business focuses on servicing three types of vehicles, striving to get the work done in just one day.

“We specialized in just Hondas and Acuras for about 15 years, and then we took on Toyotas about five years ago,” Carney says.

“We can do pretty much everything that the dealers do, except for tires and alignments.”

Because he and his employees are so familiar with three types of vehicles, Carney says Hontech offers the same quality and specialized work as a dealership, but with a more personalized feel.

“We’re basically like a mom and pop shop. People enjoy coming to us and interacting with us,” Carney says.

While Carney stays busy working on the vehicles, Lorraine can be found up front, meeting and greeting the customers as they come in, and getting to know each one.

Prior to opening Beyond Graphix in September 2006, Greg Hladek worked for a local printer. Although he enjoyed the work, he wanted to own his own company and branch out a bit more, using his skills to offer a variety of additional products and services.

“From start to finish, I can do design work, printing or installs for individuals or companies,” Hladek says.

“I can do everything from working with ASU students who need a high-end print job on a canvas and managing banners for wedding ceremonies, all the way to doing stickers or decals for a large corporation and more.”

While Hladek says customers who work with much larger graphics companies might run the risk of being lost in the shuffle, he takes pride in working closely with everyone who walks in the door looking for a banner, auto wrap or printing job.

“The biggest thing for me is that since we are a small company, our customers get a more hands-on service,” he says, adding that his clients are much more to him than “just a number.”

Business provides nanny and tutoring

A College Nannies + Tutors is providing professional babysitting, nanny, tutoring and college test preparation services for families in Gilbert and the surrounding communities. Through its unique role model-matching process, the business finds a customized solution for its clients’ specific needs and matches their child with a nanny or tutor who is the perfect choice.

College Nannies + Tutors of Gilbert is dedicated to building stronger families in the community and giving students the resources they need to achieve academic success.

“We want to offer students the

opportunity to build their success in school; whether that be by improving already good grades, helping students that may need a little extra help to supplement classroom learning, or prepare students for college entrance exams and help them raise their SAT/ACT scores,” says owner and operator Nicole Wilson.

College Nannies + Tutors is recruiting responsible individuals for role model tutor and nanny positions.

Families interested in the services can visit www.collegenanniesandtutors. com/gilbertaz, by emailing gilbertaz@ collegenannies.com or by calling (480) 237-2333.

“My wife can remember a customer’s name five years later, and when they come back in she’ll ask about their vacations or their kids,” Carney says.

“I remember the cars, and she remembers the family and the name.”

One of the best parts of his work, Carney says, is when customers tell him and Lorraine that they have bought another new Honda, just because they know they already have a great mechanic.

“We’ve even had customers who have moved to California or back East call us and ask us for advice about their cars.”

Lorraine is so welcoming and friendly with the customers, Carney says he’s noticed that more women are bringing in their vehicles for service.

“They feel comfortable talking to a

woman who knows what she is talking about. My wife has learned a lot about cars over the years, and a lot of ladies want to learn about their own cars, too,” he says.

Carney says he and his wife are also devoted to treating each and every customer fairly.

“Obviously, we would not have been in business this long if we are not doing things honestly. One of our mottos is that if we’re not honest, we’re not even going to do it.”

Hontech is located at 320 S. Arizona Ave., Suite 115, Chandler. For more information, call (480) 899-2701 or visit www.hontechaz.com.

Women in Business Series valuable asset

BY ANA ANGUIANO

With the Women in Business Series luncheons, the Chandler Chamber of Commerce is giving participants more than just food for thought.

The organization is lending support, thanks to peer discussions and guest speakers, from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month at Soho63 in downtown Chandler.

Terri Kimble, the Chandler Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, says the functions recently switched to a luncheon format to create a more welcoming atmosphere. It worked. Soho63 has been hosting packed houses with men and women who are interested in business, finance and networking. Anyone can attend, but lunch is $25 for chamber members and $35 for nonmembers.

Kimble says the chamber seeks speakers who have really made a difference and who are successful. Previous themes have included strategic planning and the importance of customer service.

“All of our speakers are giving real life, practical tips that you can walk away and use right away in your company. It’s very hands-on and interactive,” Kimble says.

Before the luncheon, guests can enjoy free value workshops from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. This includes the Expert Lounge where anyone can come in and ask questions regarding finance and

other topics. It is a laidback area where participants are encouraged to chat.

There are also display tables for businesses to showcase themselves and mix and mingle with attendees.

The other free value workshop is the mentor-led Mastermind Group. Here, people can come to share ideas and learn from one another. Afterward, guests have 30 minutes to network before the luncheon begins.

Mentoring is another important part of the Women in Business Series.

“The mentoring program has started where we actually have a key group of really committed individuals,” Kimble says. “They are really here to share their expertise and knowledge. What they did right, what they did wrong, what they wouldn’t do again, and they’re working with businesses one-on-one mentoring there.”

One of the mentors is Denise Cote’ McCreery, owner of D’Vine Gourmet and Women in Business chairwoman. Kimble says McCreery has been successful and this is her way of giving back.

May’s guest speaker is Mary Cravets, a business coach and speaker who will discuss how to “win at business without losing your mind” with “three small business steps in a small business.”

Kimble explains that women really enjoy the program.

“I think everyone who comes really enjoys it,” she says. “It’s not like a set meeting you have to go to. It’s really

more about the networking and it’s really positive. People are really there to help one another. They really are there to learn about one another and how best to help them. It’s kind of fun watching people interact.”

And while this might all seem very female oriented, Kimble says it is most definitely not.

“We do have a number of men who attend the events,” she says. “Even though most of our topics are geared toward women, they are finding value out of it, too.”

if they are working on a $100,000 job, the $1,000 job might go on the back burner for awhile. For me, every job is important.”

Another thing that helps to set Beyond Graphix apart from the competition, Hladek says, is his attention to quality and detail.

“I print everything in photographic, whether it’s a banner, wall stickers or car decals,” he says.

“I try to do everything in high resolution. At other places, if the image looks pixilated that might be acceptable, but it’s not that way with me. I try to keep everything at a photographic quality.”

Beyond Graphix also uses a Mutoh Eco-Solvent printer with Eco-Solvent inks that provide top-quality graphics that are long-lasting while also being friendly to the environment.

In the seven-plus years he’s been in business, Hladek has definitely gotten his wish for more diverse and different types of projects. He likes that no two days are the same.

Before I did design, so I did the same thing every day. Now, one day I’ll be designing a banner, and then the next day I’ll be working on decals that go in the window of cars, and then I’ll print banners,” Hladek says.

His business has gotten steadily busier over the years and has almost tripled in size to when he first opened.

“If everything that I did was the same, it would start to get boring, but every day it’s a different scenario and it’s really nice to have the variety.”

Beyond Graphix is located at 460 E.

Chandler Regional named one of Healthgrades’ best hospitals

Chandler Regional Medical Center has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals, as measured by Healthgrades, an online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. By earning this distinction, Chandler Regional Medical Center is among the nation’s top 2 percent of facilities.

Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospital Award recognizes hospitals for consistent clinical excellence by identifying those that received a Healthgrade Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence for the most consecutive years. To be eligible for the Healthgrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence, a hospital had to have been evaluated for its performance in at least 21 of the 30 Healthgrade procedures and conditions, based on Medicare inpatient data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Medicare Provider Analysis and Preview database.

From 2010 to 2012, Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals, as a group, had an overall 24.53 percent

lower risk-adjusted mortality rate across 19 procedures and conditions where in-hospital mortality was the clinical outcome, compared to all other hospitals in the nation. From 2010 to 2012, if all other hospitals had performed at the level of Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals, 160,701 lives potentially could have been saved nationwide.

Subaru presents CEF with nearly $11,000 in donations

Subaru Superstore of Chandler presented a $10,945 donation to the Chandler Education Foundation on Monday, March 17. The partnership between it and Subaru of America enabled CEF to participate in Subaru’s recent Share the Love Event. This annual event allowed each customer purchasing or leasing a vehicle to direct $250 of Subaru money toward the CEF Scholarship Fund benefiting Chandler teachers and students. Collectively, it amounted to almost $11,000.

Subaru Superstore of Chandler owners, Richard and Lisa Cvijanovich, are supporters of CUSD, donating a $6,000 Apple computer media lab to CUSD last year.

“When Subaru of America announced that dealers were able to add a local charity, we selected CEF because we place a priority on supporting our outstanding CUSD teachers and students,” Lisa says.

“Also, since one-third of Subaru drivers are educators, it made sense to select a local charity that will have a direct impact on our clients. It was our personal goal during the campaign to raise in excess of $10,000 for the direct benefit of CUSD teachers and students and to double that amount in future years.”

Other national charities, which were selected to participate include: ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals on Wheels, National

Park Foundation and Teach for America. In addition to the five national organizations, the CEF was selected exclusively by the Subaru Superstore of Chandler.

“We are excited to be able to share more love with more charities, including the charities in our owners’ backyard like CEF,” says Subaru Chief Marketing Officer Dean Evans.

The sales growth experienced by the brand in recent years means that Subaru and Subaru owners will have given $35 million to diverse and worthy causes during the past six years.

Academy debuts national infomercial

Chandler-based National Academy of Sports Medicine, a leader in health and fitness education, launched its first national infomercial on March 10. With the industry growing rapidly and certified personal training careers expected to increase 13 percent in the next decade, the infomercial aims to educate fitness enthusiasts and job seekers on the thriving profession.

To provide a source of inspiration and showcase the faces behind the career, NASM certified personal trainers’ experiences and client success stories are at the center of the infomercial. The featured CPTs and three of their clients, who collectively lost approximately 400 pounds, share their emotional journeys with viewers. With the help of their personal trainers, these clients significantly improved their health and overall well-being, and some were motivated to become CPTs themselves.

“Stories like the ones featured are the driving force behind why this career is booming,” says NASM President Andrew Wyant. “Because these personal stories are so visual and uplifting in nature, telling them through this format allows NASM to reach a mass market and speak directly to individuals who are looking to make a meaningful impact and have a successful career.”

In addition to the stories of achievement, the 28-minute spot outlines the fundamentals for getting started and tools needed to establish a long lasting career as a CPT. NASM’s esteemed Optimum Performance Training model, the industry’s first and most respected evidence based training system, is also featured.

Produced by Chris Strand and the Strand Creative Group, the infomercial was filmed in Los Angeles and Chandler. The spot rolled out in more than 15 markets on cable networks such as FOX, NBC and Bravo, and after an initial test period, is running regularly throughout 2014.

To view the infomercial, visit www. nasm.org/infomercial.
